Where do you get all your coupons????


Finding Coupons
 
Insert Coupons
Insert coupons are found inside the Sunday edition of many newspapers. They are published by SmartSource, Vlassis (Redplum), General Mills, and Proctor & Gamble. There is usually at least one SmartSource and one Redplum insert each Sunday (excluding major holiday weekends).  General Mills are published about once every 2 months. P&G Savers (Proctor & Gamble) are  published 1-2 times per month. Other than internet printable coupons, insert coupons will be your largest source for obtaining coupons.  
I get on average 2-4 Denver Posts, and either 1 Colorado Springs Gazzette, or 1 Pueblo Chieftan each Sunday.  You can go to Sunday Coupon Preview to get a look at what will be in the paper before you buy it.  All inserts are regional, and not every paper will have the same coupons, or inserts, nor will they have the same value.   

Printable Internet Coupon Sites
You can print coupons on-line.
Coupons.com, SmartSource.com and Redplum.com are the most popular sources to find these coupon. These sites offer coupons for a variety of products from various manufacturers on a monthly basis. Coupons are updated and/or added at the first of the month. Sometimes new coupons will be added throughout the month. Most coupons stay up all month or according to the specific manufacturers print limits. Two of each coupon can be printed per computer.
Some of my favorite products websites that have a variety of coupons are: CouponNetwork.comCampbells.com, BettyCrocker.com, SnackPicks.com, Kelloggs.com, Pillsburry.com

Manufacturer Websites
Many manufacturers offer coupons through their websites as a regular feature or during special promotions. Some also make monthly emailed newsletters available which may feature one or more printable coupons. Basic personal information is required for registration. You will want to set up a separate email for couponing so that your regular inbox does not become overloaded. You may set up a gmail, yahoo or hotmail account for free. These coupons usually carry a print limit of two per computer.  Some of my favorite manufacturer websites that have a variety of coupons are: CouponNetwork.comCampbells.com, BettyCrocker.com, SnackPicks.com, Kelloggs.com, Pillsburry.com.

Retail Websites 
Many retailers, like Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, Target, King Soopers, and Safeway to name a few, offer printable coupons on their website. These coupons are a mix of store specific coupons and manufacturer coupons. The print limit is usually two per computer. Some retailers use coupons.com to power their coupon page so the manufacturer coupons are the same that you will find at Coupons.com and the print limits carry over. In other words, if you print two honey nut cheerios coupons from Coupons.com, you will not be able to print the same coupons from the retailers website. King Soopers and Safeway have coupons that you can load to your store loyalty cards.  These coupons, however, do not double, and you cannot take them off your card unless you use them or they expire. So I wouldn’t load anything below $1 unless you can’t find another coupon for that item.

All You Magazine
This magazine is available only at Walmart ($2.88) or by subscription (as low as $1.00). It is full of valuable coupons. Sometimes the newstand issue contains coupons not found in subscription copies. Allyou.com also features exclusive coupons.com printable coupons.

Peelies
These are coupons that manufacturers attach directly to their product and you peel off at the time of use. Sometimes it may involve buying another product as well to receive the savings.

Catalinas
Catalinas are produced by Catalina Marketing, a company who connects manufacturers with vendor to bring the customer more savings. These coupons print from the small printers located by the register at stores like Safeway, King Soopers, Albertson’s, and Walgreens and are triggered by a specific product purchases or by a promotion.  Sometimes they are coupons for specific products and sometimes they are for $x off your next order. They also carry advertisements for future “catalina” deals which feature $ off your next order when you buy certain products. These coupons are manufacturer coupons but are only valid at the store where they printed. You may not stack these coupons with other manufacturer coupons.

Tear Pads
These are booklets of coupons attached to special store displays or shelving.

Product Packaging
Occasionally manufacturers offer coupons as part of their product packaging. These coupons can many times be found on the back of the box/carton or on the inside. Always check before throwing out an empty box.

Mail Offers
Sometimes manufacturers make coupons available by mail through Internet offers. Proctor & Gamble does this through their monthly
Home MadeSimple coupon booklet as well as on their site, P&G Everyday Solutions. Also, some stores (i.e. King Soopers and Target) will occasionally send store specific coupons for various products through the mail if you are on their mailing list.

Free Samples
Many manufacturers offer free samples through on-line promotions. These samples arrive in the mail and many times are accompanied by a coupon. Again, I suggest setting up a separate email account to sign up for these and other online offers.

Email Manufacturers
A great way to get coupons on products you love but do not see coupons for is by emailing the company. Just let them know how much you love their products (no need to ask for coupons). You’ll be surprised what you receive. I have compiled a list of over a hundred manufacturers you can email for savings.  I try to email about 5 a week.  They are listed below.

 
173 Manufacturers You can E-Mail for High Value Coupons!
This is an awesome way to build your coupon stockpile and get items for free. For those of you who have been working your way through the list, how has it been going?
One of my favorite ways to get high-value and sometimes even FREE item coupons is e-mailing manufacturers. It is very simple and doesn’t take a whole lot of your time. Here is a list of companies who have been known to send out coupons to consumers who contact them. All you need to do is go to the links included below and send the manuafacturer a little note.
Not sure what to say when you contact them? Most of the time I just let them know that I like their product, sometimes I’ll give them a suggestion on how they could potentially improve their product, and other times I’ll just ask if they are willing to send me a coupon so I can try/continue to use their product. It doesn’t have to be anything long or fancy. Just keep it simple!
I challenge all of you to get as far through this list as possible…even if it takes you a month or two to do so. I promise, it will pay off! In a week or two, you’ll be running to the mailbox instead of walking!
Make sure to come back here and leave a comment when you start getting your coupons!
